Stephen
My career has been rich and varied, starting as a graduate trainee with Unilever, and progressing to senior management positions before establishing successful businesses in publishing and advertising. In 1999 I returned to the UK and purchased a yacht brokerage business in Cornwall. In 2001 I expanded the business to Mallorca where I spent seven years before spending a further ten years in London before identifying Andorra as the best hub for the future of Abery Yachts.
​
I have been directly responsible for the sale and purchase of some 750 yachts ranging from family cruisers to superyachts, transactions which have involved more than twenty nationalities of buyers and sellers as well as a massive range of locations and circumstances. This huge depth of transactional experience often makes the difference between a sale completing or not.
For the last forty years, I have owned my own yachts giving me insight into the joys and pains of ownership! Yacht brokerage, like yacht ownership, requires some sense of humour but above all great results are delivered by hard work, in-depth knowledge, attention to detail, discretion and a professional approach.
Liam
Born in South Africa and raised in Germany, I returned to South Africa to complete my RYA Yachtmaster Ocean. I have been sailing professionally since the age of 18, gaining experience as both Captain and crew on a wide variety of yachts across the Mediterranean, Atlantic, Northern Europe, Southern and East Africa, and Thailand. I have worked frequently with Abery Yachts as a skipper before starting my own brokerage business which I now operate as a fully integrated part of the Abery Yachts network.
Now based in Barcelona, I speak English, German, and Spanish. My German upbringing instilled a strong attention to detail, which I bring to every aspect of yacht brokerage transactions under my management. This, coupled with hands-on sailing and technical experience, allows me to provide clients with practical insight, whether on deck, in the engine room, or navigating complex transactions.
I am passionate about guiding clients through the ownership process – whether buying or selling
– doing so with professionalism, clarity, and care. By combining in-depth sailing knowledge with a client-focused approach, I strive to make every transaction as smooth and rewarding as possible.

My pathway to Yacht Broking is based on my long-time qualification as an MCA Master (200 tonnes), my most recent commands have given me experience in both the Mediterranean and UK waters. I am the seasonal captain on a beautiful med-based, 1936 gentleman’s motor yacht while in the UK I run a 64ft classic sailing yacht, managing her refits, maintenance schedules, race programmes, charters and commercial compliance.
This hands-on experience gives me a real understanding of what ownership demands and how best to manage a yacht. I am able to share my on-the-water experience and extensive network of sailing professionals with my clients helping them enjoy ownership. These experiences and insights add real value to help my clients sell, source and purchase their yachts.
​
Working within the Abery Yachts network, I can provide brokerage services and advice to clients in the UK as well as the Mediterranean and beyond. I am equally comfortable with sailing or motor yachts, especially in the 20 to 35 metre range. I am based in Lymington and travel extensively.
I never tire of being on the water, whether harnessing wind in the sails or exploring under power. I look forward to understanding my clients' needs and helping them find a yacht which allows them the same enjoyment.

I have lived, travelled and sailed extensively in most oceans of the world – from the cruising grounds of the East and West Mediterranean to the Caribbean, from the divine South to the glorious NW Pacific and the far reaches of the Polar Circle. This allows me to share first-hand knowledge and advise on the constantly evolving charter possibilities.
​
I never tire of listening to a client’s vision for a perfect charter and for ensuring that vision is realised.​ To stay up-to-date with the worldwide charter fleet, I travel extensively to the global industry charter shows to inspect the yachts and interview the crew and keep abreast of marine technology and design and charter industry standards and regulations.
​
A personal passion of mine is marine ecology and we have a couple of great projects going with the charter yachts to help protect the oceans and their beautiful cruising grounds. I’m also fascinated by the advancement of marine technology with many yacht designers and builders seeking to create more environmentally friendly practices in yacht production and propulsion. It’s definitely one to watch!
Hugo
Having grown up sailing in the Solent and the glorious waters of the Mediterranean, the sea has been a constant thread throughout my life. That early grounding in popular sailing regions gave me both a deep respect for seamanship and an eye for what makes a truly exceptional yacht.
​
My career has since taken me into the financial sector, based in Vietnam, where I've built a career centred on strategic thinking, relationship-building, and identifying opportunity in emerging markets. It's this combination of financial acumen and lifelong nautical passion that I now bring to Abery Yachts, supporting the brand's marketing efforts and spearheading the exploration of new opportunities across Southeast Asia.
​
Southeast Asia's yachting market is still very much in its early stages of development, and I'm excited to be part of shaping its future — connecting the region's growing appetite for luxury and adventure on the water with Abery Yachts' ability to help our clients buy or sell, whether they are new or brokerage.
YOUR YACHTING IS OUR BUSINESS
Abery Yachts is set apart by an unwavering commitment to client satisfaction.
We prioritise building lasting relationships with our clients. These relationships are based on trust, integrity and transparency. We aim to ensure that your journey with us is nothing short of exceptional. Behind our personalised approach is the understanding that no two yacht sales are the same; every yacht, every seller and every buyer is different. Each transaction receives fastidious management of detail.
Our objective is simple – to deliver the best possible outcome for our clients and to create a positive atmosphere during what can be a stressful process.
For sellers, each listing will require and receive a tailored approach according to the owner’s needs and the type of yacht. Prevailing and anticipated market conditions will be analysed and discussed with the client.
For buyers, our relationships with other leading brokers facilitate access to the broadest market, including “off-market” availability. Insight and access to market information is shared and excellent negotiation skills get our clients the right result.
​
We are appointed agents for CNB Yacht Builders and Nautitech Catamarans. Both these leading brands are focused on quality over volume. Their management share our customer first approach and passion for yachts which deliver sailing performance, comfort aboard and a dedication to ongoing customer support wherever and whenever needed by the customer.
Whether finding a buyer for a listing or finding the right yacht for a client the approach is always tenacious and discrete. Transactions are completed with minute attention to detail, always ensuring client security.
​
For charterers, we have over 30 years and retail charter experience, a service that requires fullest insight to the world's best charter grounds and yachts. We can also help owners wishing to offer their yachts to the charter market.
